【Under 100,000 yen】A perfect blend of digital and analog! An evolved dashboard camera-equipped digital mirror

Car accessories brand MAXWIN has developed the high-end digital mirror MDR-PRO2, the successor to the MDR-PRO1, featuring a quality level comparable to OEM and functions exceeding OEM standards. Let’s take a look at the evolved features.

Replacing the camera cover allows for in-car photography as well.

Released as the successor to the "MDR-PRO1" launched three years ago, the new "MDR-PRO2" from MAXWIN features updates not only in functionality but also in specifications, such as a 9.6-inch screen size and a maximum brightness of 2250 candelas.

One noteworthy aspect is the improved ability to gauge the distance of vehicles behind you, which addresses a weakness of digital mirrors. It supports adjustments for angle in vertical, horizontal, tilt, and zoom. This is sure to attract many users.

Although the size has increased, the width has only gone up by about 1 cm, and the stylish design similar to the original has been preserved.

It achieves smooth rearview video output at 60fps specification, similar to genuine digital mirrors, using the latest rear camera. Compared to conventional products, it reflects less and significantly reduces mirror screen glare. It offers brightness at the same level as the manufacturer's genuine in-car LCD.

Automatic anti-glare and brightness auto-adjustment are supported

The conventional dashcam functions are included, and a front camera is also attached. Since the front camera is independent, it can be placed anywhere without worrying about the sensor cover being visible. By the way, the rear camera is IP67 waterproof. By changing the camera cover, it supports installation inside and outside the vehicle.

Additionally, it features a "mirror automatic anti-glare function" that reduces the reflectivity of the mirror when it detects the headlights of a following vehicle, as well as an "adjusting function" that automatically adjusts brightness in the dark. Regarding automatic anti-glare, it is also compatible with some vehicles that have automatic anti-glare functions on their side mirrors.

In this way, the compact body is packed with functions, and it can be operated with the same feeling as the original, making it worth considering for introduction.
